Ann Daniels

Record-breaking Polar Explorer, Britain's First Female Polar Guide

Ann Daniels is the first woman in history, along with expedition teammate Caroline Hamilton, to reach the North and South Poles as part of all women teams. Having lead expeditions in the most hostile environments on earth, literally to the very top and bottom of the world, where strong leadership and teamwork are essential to achieve results in a world that is always challenging and the terrain ever changing, she is an inspiration to those who hear her speak. 2010 saw her leading an expedition on the Arctic Ocean as part of the Catlin Arctic Survey.

In detail

In the year 2000, she walked from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and in 2002 walked from Canada to the North Geographic Pole to become the first all women's team in the world to manhaul to both the North and South poles. A proud representative of the Special Olympics, Ann has also been a baton holder for the Commonwealth Games. Mother of four, she is a recipient of the prestigious Pride of Britain Award. Setting out in 2009, the first Catlin Arctic Survey undertook a 100 day, 1000km crossing of the ice cap in temperatures as low as minus 50ºC. The survey set off from Alaska, walking, skiing and on occasions swimming stretches of open water to reach the North Geographic Pole.
